A Group or Sinners.

The police judge was rather tardy in
putting in an appearance yesterday
morning. But business was such that it
did not demand much of his valuable
time after all.
The number of cases before his honor
was small, compared to the business dur
ing the week Just ended.
The case against Dill, an uncle to the
bootblack, in q disturbance on Friday,
was concluded, the Judge remarking that
he was guilty of the offease charged Bnt
as he had procured the services of such
an able attorney, and had gone to such
an expense to defend himself, he con-
cluded he would discharge the prisoner.
He didn't doubt but that Dill had inter-
fered and tried to see fair play, at least,
but thought as he was related to one of
the principals, he became somewhat ex-
cited and didn't remember how far he
did 60 in the matter
Fred Harter and William Jones were
each fined $1,000 for disturbing the peace
about the canning factory.

ance money.
l.. Smothers, common carrier, was
brought to the front for not having a
license. He told the judge he had been
advised by counsel that he could work by
the day without license and for that
reason had not obtained the necessary
permit. The Judge, after learning the
name of the attorney who gave such
advice, remarked "the lawyer is Off 1t

nothing but enforce it,"

ngpark between some of the best horses
in the city. 1t is the plan to try and have
roadster race like this take place every
week or two, to keep up the local excite.

quite likely others will take place. A
good deal of local interest Is ia ken IN
this race and large crowd is expected
to be in attendance. Admission will be

thought that better than $50 will be
made. There will he ten starters, and

The Chautauuua.

Those who are soliciting subscriptions
for the Chautauqua have been meeting
with far success, and between $4,000
and $500 has been secured The whole
$50, 900 should have been raised before
this. 1t is getting late for arranging for
next year. and the people should bestir
themselves if they want to secure this en-.
terprise and make it the success which it
ought to be. If those who expect to give
would promptly decide what they can do,
tho matter can be quickly set IN motion.
The enterprise is too valuable one to be
allowed to be established elsewhere, as it
surely will be if Council Bluffs does not
improve its present opportunity. BY a
liberal support on the part of those who
can aid the enterprise easily, it can be
started on basis which will ensure sue

White Horses and Heat.

Philadelphia News: did you ever see
n white or gray horse overcome by the
heat?" asked well known livery stable
keeper yesterday.
The gentleman to whom the question
was directed put on his thinking cap
The rarity OF such an occurrence had
never before suggested itself to him, and
although he was among thousands of
horses every day and had seen hundreds
overcome, he could not recall q single
instance in which white or a gray
horse has been Frustrated by the suns
rays.
'"rhe cases of prostration among white
and gray horses are very rare" con-
tinued the horseman. I'VE have forty
we employ, and | never knew of but one
that gave out from the effects of the heat
in my experience of twenty years in Il
stable. This, too, was hardly a fair case,
| as the horse was pulling a heavy coupe,
which was overloaded up one of Fair
mounts steep hills. His illness was only
momentary, and as soon us he received a
little care he was all right again.
Can | account for lt?'
well, not exactly. But l suppose
white or gray does not attract the heat
like darker colors. You have probably
noticed this in your dress. A black
shiny surfaced coat seems to burn into
your very flesh, while a garment of light
colored cloth seems cool and breezy.
This is probably why white or gray horses
stand the heat better. They are not so
susceptible to the suns rays.
Keep a sharp lookout after this, and
you will see that cases where white and
gray horses succumb to the heat are as
rare as the dead donkey in England"
A veterinary surgeon, speaking on the
same subject, said that the liveryman' S
theory that the light colors did not at
tract the heat so readily as, the darker
ones. was correct.
This is we'll known" said the sur
geon. I'm many of the countries where
the climate is warm. and for this reason
alone horses of dark color are rarely
seen. In Cuba white, gray or sorrel
bring high prices. while blacks and dark
bays can be bought for song, The peo-
pie of the wealthier class will not buy
them at all, and as consequence no
dark horses are brought into the coun-
try.

Investigation of facts in regard to
street lighting continues. The territory
covered by the electric lights on the
court house has been pretty we'll estab.
lished by actual observation night after
night. TO light such a district the city
would pay under the new oil lamp con.
tract, $500. SO, for gas for the same dis
trlct under the reduced bid for gas, 1920.
To light rs well as by the electric light
system is estimated to cost $l,957 The
electric light company proposes to do
this for 5000.
Under these estimates it appears that
electric light will prove cheaper, as well
as better. In view of the peeition of
property owners it appears ttiat the
council will not hesitate in deciding to
close some contract for electric light.
